August 20 - September 2 2007

Greetings friends! Ah, it's almost fall, isn’t it? School is back in session and soon the temperatures will drop and the leaves will change once again! delightful! Wal-Mart is already selling Halloween items - for that matter they have Christmas set up, but who’s counting?

In site news I have made 21 new brush sets - a total of 221 brushes - and it's taken me all weekend! I also redid the brush section and redid ALL the zip files! I’ve added a read me file with directions to each zip along with the image pack (the folder of.gif images that I used for the brushes) for photo shop users or anyone who has older versions of Paint Shop Pro. Yes, it was a lot of work, but worth it. I also moved some links on the Extras page - well not moved, but doubled up. I added some links under the MySpace tab that used to only be under the websites one. Now, to redo the glitter images and tags....

Yes, school is back in session and a calamity has befallen me this year - bubbles is NOT in my class! Yes, shocking and horrifying, isn’t it?! But he is in with Mr. Krigley while I and Booy are with... *drum roll* Mrs. friendly. She is threatening to quit over Booy being in her class again. I rather hope she odes at this point. She's a nervous wreck most of the time as it is, and I feel my education is suffering because of it. I think they should just throw Booy out and fix the whole problem, but of course they won’t - unless he poisons someone again! >snicker<

The-Short-One did not go on her trip after all. She's been moping around here all weekend about it. Okay, she moped on Wednesday when they cancelled it. After that I quit paying attention to her so I have no idea if she really moped that long or not. Anyway, the trip got cancelled coz something happened to the car and she had to use her concert money to fix it - I don’t know. Something leaked water somewhere.. I think someone said something about replacing a head or checking their head.. but then the-Short-One could use her head examined, so there you go.

I found out what the Harry's were upset about last week when it rained. They had dug jungle commando pits all over the yard and covered them with grass to hide in and attack unwary teddies, and when it rained it tuned them all to mud, of course. Well, it dried up and needless to say the Harry's were in them and scared quite a few bears before I went out and stomped on some harry skulls. I swear those Harrys are the worst behaved of all the animals that live here! I keep telling The-Short-one to put them in a box and give them away free to good home, but she refuses. I think she is secretly fond of them, which is easy when you don’t have to deal with them very much!

Not too terribly much happening here except homework. It’s labor day weekend and Monday (tomorrow) we are having a bar-b-que. There's a holiday I don’t get. Okay, everyone is off of work and off of school as a holiday - but because everyone is off work there's no where to go! Now how does this work? I tell you ho it works, plenty of people don’t get it off - which then defeats the purpose of said holiday! Am I the only one who sees this?

Been having some computer trouble where it freezes up and such but I suspect it is caused by low memory which is a direct result of this teeny tiny hard drive we have for C:. They refuse to buy a new one because they are planning to upgrade the whole pc in April or so and the new hard drives are a different kind or some such thing. I don’t know. I don’t get it, but hey, not my place to worry about it. i leave the mundane things up o those with mundane brains to handle (aka The-Short-one).

Speaking of the mundane little Short-One and her lack luster cleaning abilities, she has been torturing me with strange music for days now. She just picks whole albums in her MP3 folder randomly and some of the combinations have been terrifying, let me tell you! Matchbox 20, Vertical Horizon and Disturbed were yesterday’s choices. Today is Rob Thomas, Ten years and a bunch of mix songs by bands she likes on MySpace. I tell you the things I am forced to endure!

OOH! that reminds me! We had a whisker trimming last week- right before school started. It did not go well at all! Booy had to actually be repaired after it- and by The-Short-One at that! He's refusing to ever help again as The-Short-One said something about him being old and his material not wanting to sew back together properly. he’s now terrified his stuffings will fall out and has been on limited activities ever since. I keep telling him that his stuffings are not going anywhere and that even if they did The-Short-one would save him - she’s very fond of him, you know - but he won’t listen. I have t say it is somewhat quieter though so maybe I should leave things as they are.

I think that's about it for me. I have hurt my poor piggy shoulder working on these brushes all weekend and need a break,

Ciao
O
